[ Show full platform position ]

Doggett participated in a 2019 Ways and Means hearing on SALT deduction limits, where subcommittee members argued the cap harmed communities, schools, first responders, and housing values. He represented a district where median home value is $601,000 and 63% of residents hold bachelor's degrees, meaning SALT relief benefits his constituents.

Vote: on "Doggett voted Nay on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1, Roll Call 190) on July 3, 2025, which…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Doggett participated in a 2019 SALT hearing highlighting how the $10,000 cap harmed communities, yet voted against the Big Beautiful Bill in 2025 that raised the SALT cap to $40,000 — a policy he had effectively advocated for. His district's median home value of $601,000 and high-income professional constituency made SALT relief a local priority. Doggett prioritized opposition to the bill's Medicaid cuts over delivering the SALT relief he had long sought for his Texas district.

Platform: "In 1996, Doggett voted for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defined marriage as one man and one woman for federal purposes and allowed states to deny recognition to same-sex marriages performed in other states."

[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Doggett voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, then co-sponsored the Respect for Marriage Act to repeal DOMA in 2011 and voted to codify same-sex marriage protections in 2022. The 26-year evolution reflects broad party movement on LGBTQ rights…

In a 2018 floor speech opposing the Balanced Budget Amendment, Doggett stated: 'I voted for a balanced budget when I voted to reject the distorted Republican theology that when the question is taxes, less always means more.' He opposed the constitutional BBA while framing his vote as fiscally responsible.

Vote: on "In 2025, Doggett condemned Republicans for adding trillions to the national debt with the Big…"

[ Show full analysis ]

[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Doggett used the phrase 'I voted for a balanced budget' in 2018 to describe his Nay vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment — a rhetorically creative framing that allowed him to sound fiscally conservative while opposing constitutional fiscal restraint. In 2025, he criticized Republican deficit spending while opposing the GOP bill that contained hundreds of billions in deficit reduction and the SALT cap increase his own constituents would benefit from.

Community Project Funding earmarks embedded in appropriations bills that Doggett voted against

243d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As a representative who actively requests Community Project Funding for Austin-area projects (including $1.5M for CapMetro, $850K for Foundation Communities, and nearly $4M for tree planting and workforce development), Doggett would be expected to publicly reconcile his 'no' votes on appropriations bills with his subsequent credit-claiming for projects within those bills. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Doggett decried the March 2025 CR for excluding his Austin community project requests, stating the lost $9.7M was 'critical' for his district. He subsequently voted Nay on H.R. 5371 (the September 2025 CR) which contained community project funding. Doggett did not issue any public statement explaining how his earmark advocacy aligned with his votes against the funding vehicles. He was otherwise highly active on social media during this window, posting about ICE accountability, healthcare access, and IRS oversight.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

Component	Weight	Signal
Contradiction Risk	30%	Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence	20%	Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk	15%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume	15%	Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation	0%	Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment	0%	Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
